Our Products & Customization

What paper do you use?

Our signature paper is 120lb. white 98-Brightness with a smooth uncoated finish and a flat satin surface. It is FSC Certified.

We use a 120lb. white premium laid (textured) paper for some of our designs that look best on a textured surface. It is FSC Certified and Green-e Certified.

We use a 100lb. white 98-Brightness paper with a super smooth finish for our Thank You, RSVP and Enclosure cards, except for a few Thank You card designs that are printed on our premium laid (textured) paper.

Is it possible to select a different paper on my invitation?

We have two options for paper. Our signature paper is a smooth white paper that works best for most designs. Our textured (laid) paper is used with some of our invitations and may be available as an option depending on the invitation design chosen. The textured (laid) paper has an up-charge of 39 cents per invitation.

Can I change the wording on the invitation?

Yes! We will work with you via e-mail to assist you in a selection that meets your requirements. Please see our list of wording samples for ideas on the Wedding Invitation Wording page.

Will I be able to change the font colors?

Yes! We will customize the font colors on most of our designs if you request a change.

Can I change the back design on the invitation?

Yes! The back design featured with the invitation is usually the best choice, but you may select a different back design that is used on another wedding invitation. We will assist you in selecting one that works best with your invitation.

What paper are the envelope liners printed on?

We print our liners on 80lb. natural white metallic smooth paper. This lustrous, glimmering paper has a pearlized appearance that adds elegance to the envelope.

Are the envelope liners fully assembled?

Yes. We will ship them completely assembled and ready to be addressed. It saves you time and effort.

What design is printed on the envelope liners?

We use the wedding invitation background design for the envelope liners, unless noted otherwise. Due to the pearlized shimmer on the paper, some of the colors on the liner will appear slightly lighter than the invitation design.

How do I print addresses on metallic envelopes?

Metallic envelopes have a shimmer and luster surface that creates an elegant look. We don't recommend using inkjet printers to print addresses on metallic envelopes, due to smearing. Laser printers are the preferred method. Clear labels or hand writing addresses using a fine point permanent marker (like a Sharpie) will also work well. Allow time to dry to avoid smearing.

What size are the R.S.V.P. cards?

The dimensions of the R.S.V.P. cards are 3 1/2 x 4 7/8 inches. This is the standard size for R.S.V.P. cards. The A1 envelopes included with the R.S.V.P. cards are 3 5/8 x 5 1/8 inches.

Etiquette & Advice

How do I assemble the invitations in the envelopes?

The invitation and any enclosure cards should be facing the envelope flap, so the text is visible as your guest opens it. Traditionally, the invitation is placed on the bottom with the RSVP and/or enclosure cards on top. Stack the enclosure cards with the smallest size on top. The RSVP card should be placed on top of the reply envelope with the flap covering part of the text. Place postage stamp on each RSVP envelope prior to mailing to guests.
